Your horoscope for February 16 to 22, 2017

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      Thursday/Friday, give your fullest attention to the here and now—make the most of what you have going for you—and satisfaction is your ready reward. The Scorpio moon sets a fruitful tone for a good-for-you power play and/or a close encounter. Don’t let the clock run the show. Spend your time; enjoy your time. Don’t rush through the juicy stuff.

      The sun’s advance into Pisces on Saturday can soften a cranky mood or shave off a rough edge. In general, Pisces month tends to turn the tap to an easier, more fluid pace. Even so, Venus, Mars, and Uranus continuing in Aries keep the energy and action on a fast-and-ready, any-moment, anything-goes trigger.

      Saturday, leave well enough alone. Go on to something fresh rather than rehash. Don’t force it; let the day sort itself out. Sunday is best for chilling out. The day can evaporate quickly. Evening could produce a bit of an energy spike as the Sagittarius moon turns attention to thinking and planning for the week ahead.

      Monday’s start and the finish offer the best stars, but overall, the whole day is for the taking. On a major upswing, Mercury, the communications planet, lights a spark with Uranus on Monday night and mobilizes with Jupiter on Tuesday morning. Follow through on a good idea, conversation, impulse, or intuitive hit. Tuesday is best for travel, getting yourself better educated and informed. Talk it up; take it further; explore more; ask for more. A meeting, interview, presentation, or marketing venture shows great promise.

      What’s launched at the beginning of the week hits full steam ahead by Wednesday.

      Aries
      March 20 - April 20

      As of Saturday, the sun in Pisces will submerge you more deeply right where you are. Privacy can be productive or replenishing. Gift yourself with more time and less distraction. Monday/Tuesday, Mercury stimulates an insight and/or an opportunity to speak your mind. Building to a midweek peak, Mars/Pluto thrusts you full tilt into full steam ahead. Wednesday, act fast; be decisive; make it happen.

      Taurus
      April 20 - May 21

      It’s one eclipse down and one more to go before the month ends. Whether it happens in an obvious way, by choice, in more subtle form, or by complete serendipity, the stars set a prime backdrop for moving yourself to higher ground. Over this next week, you’ll witness or learn something that can change your mind, perspective, heart, plan, or expectation.

      Gemini
      May 21 - June 21

      Through Monday, aim to wind it down, finish off, clear it away. Saturday/Sunday, a change of scenery or change of pace does you plenty of good. Get your entertainment fill however it suits you best. As of Monday evening, ideas or conversations start to percolate. Tuesday morning, make the call; set wheels in motion. Start to finish, Wednesday’s a full-on big push.

      Cancer
      June 21 - July 22

      Take advantage of Thursday/Friday while the stars offer you an easier go. The sun’s trek into Pisces on Saturday can also lift some of the stress or disconnectedness you’ve felt of late. Take the weekend off and aim to hit it fresh on Monday/Tuesday. Wednesday’s a mixed bag. You’re hot, then you’re not. Grab your moments. By day’s end, you hit an upswing.

      Leo
      July 22 - August 23

      Keep it to yourself and/or stay under the radar Thursday/Friday. Saturday/Sunday, have it/do it your way. Wander; conjure; go by feel. The sun’s trek into Pisces can prompt an indulgent, romantic, or lazy mood. Don’t expect to chill out for long. Monday/Tuesday, put your best effort forward. Mercury and Mars keep the dialogue and the action going strong through midweek.

      Virgo
      August 23 - September 23

      Thursday/Friday, go by feel. Your observational, intuitive faculties are at peak. You’ll read people and situations, spot advantage, negotiate a deal, and absorb information with great skill. Saturday/Sunday, the Pisces sun shifts your attention and eases up on you. Use the stellar advantage to get up to speed. Monday through Wednesday helps you to do that.

      Libra
      September 23 - October 23

      Improvement on your mind? Starting Saturday, the sun in Pisces shares that sentiment. Take the weekend off if you like, but as of Monday, plan to be up and rolling. Monday evening through Tuesday, Mercury brings something fresh to the table. Don’t hesitate to try it on, talk it out, pitch it, or negotiate it. Wednesday is something of a challenge, but results look good.

      Scorpio
      October 23 - November 22

      A Scorpio moon finishes off the workweek, so you should feel well on top of it Thursday/Friday. These are your best days to drive the bus. Saturday/Sunday, a switch of momentum or attention is where it’s at. Monday/Tuesday, you can accomplish plenty. Wednesday is an intense, under-pressure push-through-it day. Something can crop up that requires immediate attention or response. Act rather than react.

      Sagittarius
      November 22 - December 21

      You have more going on inside you than you let on. Keep decisions or plans open-ended and feel your way along. Answers come of their own accord. Over this next week, you’ll readily absorb and retain information, gain a deeper impression, hear more than is spoken, and pinpoint with better precision. It all adds up. By mid next week, it’s on to next, pronto quick.

      Capricorn
      December 21 - January 20

      A fresh perspective, solution, or better idea could sneak up on you. Take advantage of the moment Thursday/Friday. The sun in Pisces, starting Saturday, helps you to find better options and to express what’s in your heart and mind more freely. Monday/Tuesday, get moving; take control. Wednesday’s push-comes-to-shove is a productive game changer.

      Aquarius
      January 20 - February 18

      The sun leaves your sign on Saturday, but you can still bank on Venus, Mars, and Uranus to keep inspiration going strong. Give yourself extra time to catch up, unwind, and enjoy this weekend. Plan to get at it Monday/Tuesday. Mercury/Jupiter favours travel, sales, communications, negotiations, paperwork, putting talk into action, and mobilization efforts. Wednesday is decision day.

      Pisces
      February 18 - March 20

      Saturday brings a sense that a wait or a holding pattern is now surpassed, that somehow you have turned a corner. Sunday comes and goes. Monday gives a better feel for how it’s shaping up. Let intuition, heart, and impulse be your go-to. Wednesday is beyond control, but Tuesday and next Thursday are optimal for connecting the dots.
